There are so many things to love about this amazing butterscotch and pecan ice cream loaf. For a start, it has a fantastic flavour that’s rich and more-ish, plus a wonderfully fine and light crumb. It’s the kind of dessert you just have to savour, as much as you’ll want to wolf down in seconds! And, rather amazingly, this pretty impressive loaf is made with just three ingredients.

So what’s the secret to this amazing dessert? It’s all thanks to Kelly’s of Cornwall, a Bodmin based pioneer of Cornish clotted cream ice cream, which makes for a wonderfully versatile ingredient. Made with clotted cream and whole milk that’s fresh from Cornish cows that have been raised and allowed to graze on Cornwall’s lush greenery, the distinctive, creamy flavour and super-smooth texture means it’s perfect for the job.

For this recipe, I’ve used the luxurious Kelly’s of Cornwall Butterscotch Pecan ice cream, a just-released flavour from the Kelly’s of Cornwall ice cream parlours. It has butterscotch and pecan pieces swirled into it, bringing intense deliciousness and a creamy finish to every bite.

It’s available in selected Asda, Co-op and Morrisons stores nationwide and most importantly, it’s utterly delicious. So why am I baking with it? Well, the idea to ‘warm up with ice cream’ came about during a collaboration between Kelly’s and chef James Strawbridge and his foodie father, engineer and television presenter Dick Strawbridge – and it’s so much fun!

My recipe makes a loaf large enough to serve 4-6, and you’ll have enough ice cream left in the tub to serve everyone a fresh scoop with a slice or two of the finished butterscotch pecan loaf.

  1. Wild! How on earth did you discover you could make cake using ice cream? Well I never…..
    Mind you, the odds of it working with GF flour alone are probably fairly limited (especially if you want to achieve a decent fluffy texture). x

  3. Confession, I’ve never tasted Butterscotch or Pecan or a butterscotch pecan ice-cream loaf. This is so unique. It’s usually waffles with ice-cream, but a loaf with ice-cream is definitely worth trying out~
